Act on Folders Recursively

This option allows you to specify whether commands should operate recursively on folders instead of simply on the folder itself and the files directly within it. Several dialogs boxes contain a checkbox labeled Recursive. This global option establishes the default setting for all such checkboxes. If you change the recursive checkbox in one of the dialog boxes, it does not change the global option.

The default is Checked.

Always Request Exclusive Locks

This option allows you to establish a default for the Request Exclusive Lock checkbox in the Check Out dialog box. An exclusive lock on a file means that no one else can check the file in or out while the current user has it checked out.

The default is Checked.

Double Click on File

This option allows you to specify which operation to will be activated on a file that has been double-clicked. The possible values are:

·      Edit

·      View

The default is View.

Automatic Refresh

This option allows you to specify whether the Vault client should automatically perform the Refresh command and, if so, at what interval.

The default is Checked with the interval set at 10 minutes.

Show Snapshot in the folder tree

This option allows you to specify whether snapshots will appear in the tree control. This setting is for all snapshot folders – there is no option to display some but not others.

The default is Checked.

Make Vault your default SCC provider

Check Make Vault your default SCC provider if you want Vault to be your default source control provider in Visual Studio (or other compliant IDE). Checking this allows you to check in / check out files from within Visual Studio .NET, Visual Studio C++ 6.0 or Visual Basic 6.0 without using the Vault GUI client. Please see Visual Studio Integration for more information.

The default is set during installation of the Client.

Store working folder data inside folders

Check Store working folder data inside folders if you want the _sgvault folders to be created within working folders. The files will be visible. You may want to do this if you are used to working with Vault 1.0.

Leave it unchecked to store the _sgvault folders within the users application data directory for the system. The folders will be hidden.

If you toggle this option back and forth, working folder data and status will be lost (files will become of Unknown status).

The default is Unchecked. If you do not know what to choose, we recommend you choose the default.
